Damon Holzborn is an improviser and composer working primarily with electronics. His performances make the familiar unrecognizable, manipulating sound sources such as guitar and field recordings with custom instruments, untraditional effects and interactive processes. Currently pursuing his doctoral degree in composition at Columbia University, Holzborn has presented his work in the U.S., Mexico, Europe, South Africa and Japan and has collaborated with many innovative musicians and dancers.
"Holzborn crafts sounds into what even the electronics-skeptical might identify as music despite themselves."

"Computer noise at its most candid."

"Subtle and quiet but somehow aggressive. Holzborn's Adams & Bancroft ebbs and flows in the most elongated way, with extended crescendos and reversions to quietude, electronic lifeforms stretched to non-recognition, thus reformed into new beings entirely, much in the way your brain might be once this audio journey is completed."
